gdb: recognize 64 bits Windows executables as Cygwin osabi
If I generate two Windows PE executables, one 32 bits and one 64 bits: $ x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc test.c -g3 -O0 -o test_64 $ i686-w64-mingw32-gcc test.c -g3 -O0 -o test_32 $ file test_64 test_64: PE32+ executable (console) x86-64, for MS Windows $ file test_32 test_32: PE32 executable (console) Intel 80386, for MS Windows When I load the 32 bits binary in my GNU/Linux-hosted GDB, the osabi is correctly recognized as "Cygwin": $ ./gdb --data-directory=data-directory -nx test_32 (gdb) show osabi The current OS ABI is "auto" (currently "Cygwin"). When I load the 64 bits binary in GDB, the osabi is incorrectly recognized as "GNU/Linux": $ ./gdb --data-directory=data-directory -nx test_64 (gdb) show osabi The current OS ABI is "auto" (currently "GNU/Linux"). The 32 bits one gets recognized by the i386_cygwin_osabi_sniffer function, by its target name: if (strcmp (target_name, "pei-i386") == 0) return GDB_OSABI_CYGWIN; The target name for the 64 bits binaries is "pei-x86-64". It doesn't get recognized by any osabi sniffer, so GDB falls back on its default osabi, "GNU/Linux". This patch adds an osabi sniffer function for the Windows 64 bits executables in amd64-windows-tdep.c. With it, the osabi is recognized as "Cygwin", just like with the 32 bits binary. Note that it may seems strange to have a binary generated by MinGW (which has nothing to do with Cygwin) be recognized as a Cygwin binary. This is indeed not accurate, but at the moment GDB uses the Cygwin for everything Windows. Subsequent patches will add a separate "Windows" OS ABI for Windows binaries that are not Cygwin binaries. gdb/ChangeLog: * amd64-windows-tdep.c (amd64_windows_osabi_sniffer): New function. (_initialize_amd64_windows_tdep): Register osabi sniffer.
